WooReads Winter Reading Challenge For Adults: Patron Book Reviews

We're back for another week of adult patron book reviews submitted through the WooReads: Winter Reading Challenge for Adults. Join now for a chance to win a L.L. Bean tote bag featuring the WPL logo. All you have to do is log at least 9 books from December 1- February 28 to be entered into the drawing. 

We have a variety of virtual programs this winter, so if you're looking for something to do from the comfort of home, check out our programming calendar here. 

Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper

Interesting look at generations of the Vanderbilts from Anderson Cooper's place in the family. I could have done without the entire chapter on the America's Cup yacht race, but otherwise the book contained pieces of history that I didn't know much about. If you know a lot about New York, this book is right up your alley! 

~ Linda J.

Japanese Cooking with Manga by Alexis Aldeguer

Very fun idea for a cookbook! Loved the recipes, tips, tricks, and information all throughout! Loved the little characters too! ~ Sarina S.

 

Artemis by Andy Weir

Thrilling read. Loved the ingenuity of the main character!

~Sandra B. 

Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism & beyond by Bill Campbell

Fabulous, huge collection of world SF, with a center of Afrofuturism. Some of the authors are familiar names, but many are new. I don't know how I missed this when it first came out. ~ Amy W.
